XP was an updated Windows 2000 (Windows 5.0 to 5.1). Win7 is Windows 6.1, Win8 is 6.2, and I think Win8.1 is 6.3. Win10 will be 10.0. It took something like five years to write Vista. And not enough testing before launch. But it's surely paid off as a base. Paul My understanding is that MS spent a lot of time working on the never-implemented WinFS. When it was time for the roll-out... Vista was not ready. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinFS |
